Ravens who overachieved their draft status

Kickers are risky propositions in the draft, but when you find one as good as Tucker, then all credit to you. Credit goes to special teams coordinator/assistant head coach Jerry Rosburg for this one. He scouted and developed the most accurate kicker in NFL history.

Wagner has only done it for one season, but is already shaping up to be a classic fifth-round steal for the Ravens. This is going to be a pattern on this list. Wagner was one of the game’s best right tackles in his first year as a starter in 2014, and even if they get nothing more from him than that, he’s probably already overachieved his fifth-round status.

When he met with reporters this month, general manager Ozzie Newsome said the Ravens would soon redecorate their scouting wing with pictures of players they view as scouting success stories. These players, presumably late-round NFL draft picks who became meaningful contributors, are plenty with the Ravens. This list highlights some of the players who "overachieved" the most.
